Talk:List of VFL/AFL wooden spoons

Untitled

I have noticed that the AFL season guide for 2011 lists Richmond as the wooden spooners for 1916. Wasn't sure if I can delete Fitzroy and leave Richmond there? thanks Joshlyman27 (talk) 22:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Grammar

Interesting (to me);

St Kilda has won the most wooden spoons

Carlton has the longest wooden spoon drought

Essendon hold the record

Collingwood holds (in 1976)

Essendon are plural, the rest are singular. Don’t change it: I’ll bet it varies for all teams (all articles) in Wiki. MBG02 (talk) 09:06, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

AFL Era success & tribulations

As the AFL is now often discussed within the context of the AFL era (1990-onwards) and the VFL era, particularly in regards to premierships, it makes sense to also speak about wooden spoons in this context too. This highlights not only the role that expanding the competition nationwide has had on the game, but also the measures of equity such as the national draft & salary cap, and abolition of zoning (which were a blight on the historical fairness of the league). 175.38.55.226 (talk) 09:27, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

There are no official records that cite The VFL and AFL as 2 official distinct eras of records. It's subjective and arbitrary to consider the league being renamed as its own set of records, when there's no official source to back up your changes. The competition had moved to being national in 1982, during its VFL branding, and the league did not become fully professional until years after the 1990 rebranding. There are many relative arguments in journalism and fans opinions when making their own distinct records during periods of The VFL/AFL, however, they're all unofficial and have no official source to back up the speculation.
